I am rolling out a new program in my inspection business... called
SOLUTIONS
. Now, I know, and you know that I work for my client, not the Realtor. In fact, some people question whether a Realtor should recommend home inspection services, and some Realtors do not feel comfortable giving referrals. But on the practical side, many or most inspections are based on a Realtor's advice.
My new program
-SOLUTIONS
- is aimed to provide just that - a SOLUTION
- to the consumer's needs. When their needs are met, the consumer is happy. And when the consumer is happy, their Realtor is (hopefully!) happy. So, how does this work???
Many service providers are interested in one thing - making money. If there's no money in it, it's not worth their time. While I do want to make money, I have realized that taking care of your client is the key! If I take care of my client (your client), and I'm patient, the money will come. So how does this affect the Realtor?
If you have a client wanting to sell their home - I have a solution. It 's called a Pre-Listing Inspection. You ever see the ads for a car dealer's "Certified Pre-Owned Cars"? A Pre-Listing Inspection gives you a "Certified Pre-Owned Home" to sell. And you won't have to worry about last-minute repairs or negotiations.
If you have a client who just wants to buy a house to "flip", I have a solution - It's called a Basic Inspection - just the basics, so they don't pay for more than they need.
If you have a client who just wants their roof checked or the electrical system checked, I have a solution - It's called a Spot Inspection - kind of a "Cafeteria Plan" of inspections - Only the system or component that is worrying you is surveyed. Why pay for more than you really need?
In today's market, inspections
are not
"One Size Fits All". There are an infinite number of variations, but it all goes back to "Customer Service". My goal is to answer the needs of my client. If I can find a SOLUTION
to their need, then I have tasted success.
